Growth Galore...
After being in Atlantic City for 5 days I came back to a giant garden. Everything had basically doubled in size. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea.
When I left the green arrow beans were maybe an inch long. Today 40-50 were ready for picking. I picked 21.
The branches on all 4 of these tomato plants have grown at least 6 inches in every direction. We have about 40 tomatoes in all different shapes and sizes, at all different stages.
All three of the crookneck plants have grown about 4 inches higher and 3-4 wider. The patty pan (front left) has grown about 2 inches each way.
The only plant without at least 2 baby squashes to offer is the patty-pan, it has none so far.
The carrot greens have gotten so thick you can't see any soil. They'll probably be ready for harvest in 10 days.
First radish from my second sowing. This one is twice the size of any of the first sowing but most of them probably won't produce because the roots became long and exposed. I'm not sure why.
Container cantaloupe in Patch. Almost to the 3rd rung on the trellis. It was barely at the 2nd when I left and only covered the very center now its covering almost the entire trellis in width.
Tomato-berry plant. This is the plant that wouldn't grow past 4 inches for weeks then shot up 12 and stopped. It's shot up another 3 inches, at least, and out another 4-5. Amazing!
**More to come in another entry, it won't load properly with too many pics**
